Aiming at providing support for fashion product development, the research analysed the Fuzzy Front End in fashion design and the processes of the pre-development in the industry. The functions of data mining and its applications in fashion product development were discussed. A case study was conducted based on the data mining of the 3-D body scan measurements. Principal component analysis, correlation analysis, and the optimal bandwidth selection in kernel density estimation were employed to establish the specification of pants for target consumers. It is concluded that the data mining is an important tool to transform the data into information helpful in making development decision and solving technology problems.
